Although we often talk about pie-making around the fall and winter holidays, spring and summer are also the times of the year when pie is the perfect vehicle to support the deluge of delicious seasonal fruits (and some vegetables) that happens then (now!)—whether you buy them in the grocery store or the farmers market, get them in your CSA box, or grow your own.

It is back this year for the entire month of June at her space in Montavilla.

I love getting news from Sebastiano’s—which originally stole my heart with their fresh mozzarella when almost nobody was making it for retail consumption in Portland—and am happy to pass on this update on their Aperitivo program, now in its second year. After their Preview nights at the end of May (see below), the goal is to offer Apertivo every Friday and Saturday evening throughout the summer.
